About Sit and Dance with becky

In 2004 I started teaching exercise and dance in the stability of a chair to seniors in assisted living facilities. I developed a program that uses music that seniors remember and love to motivate them to move and increase their fitness and improve their overall well-being. With my degree in Physical Education and Dance and training with AFAA in Senior Fitness I have made a difference in hundreds of lives throughout the years.

Becky's Seniorsit and Dance Teaching Resource Manual

After many years of teaching Sit and Dance I decided to compile a Teaching Resource Manual. It includes all the information and experience that I have developed over the years. I want to make it available to recreation directors,and activity directors, in assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and retirement facilities. I also want to target caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones or others. I hope to guide others who care about the senior population and those with mobility issues, with a resource to reach their goals to improve fitness and the well-being of those they are in charge of. This program centers around exercising to music that the seniors love and remember in the stability of a chair. I have made a difference in senior's lives for over sixteen years and know this program works
